Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn, Leiden 1606 - Amsterdam 1669 Die Anatomie des Dr. Tulp / The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp (1632) Mauritshuis, Den Haag / The Hague Rembrandt was only twenty-five when he was asked to paint the portraits of the Amsterdam surgeons. The portrait was commissioned for the anatomy lesson given by Dr Nicolaes Tulp in January 1632. Rembrandt portrayed the surgeons in action, and they are all looking at different things. Dynamism is added to the scene by the great contrasts between light and dark. In this group portrait, the young painter displayed his legendary technique and his great talent for painting lifelike portraits. Source: Mauritshuis
Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn, Saskia with Pearls in Her Hair, 1634, Etching on paper., RvR 461
Depuis 1873 (Bode), considéré comme portrait de Titus, le fils de Rembrandt, alors que le tableau passa longtemps (fin du XVIIIe s. et après) pour un portrait de Rembrandt dans sa jeunesse. Toujours reconnu comme original de Rembrandt, à l’exception de Tümpel qui suggère hypothétiquement d’y voir un travail d’école, le R.F. 1948-34 présente, par rapport aux portraits incontestables de Titus (Rotterdam, 1655 ; Vienne ; Amsterdam, 1660), une certaine lourdeur et comme un manque de profondeur et de subtilité qui peuvent justifier quelque réserve. Est-ce à dire que Titus, qui lui-même peignait, se serait fait aider ici par son père ? – À dater vers 1662 et sans doute le plus tardif portrait montrant de façon certaine Titus, car celui de Dulwich (vers 1667-1668), d’une authenticité rembranesque d’ailleurs discutée, ne représente pas forcément le fils de Rembrandt.
Hendrickje Stoffels entered Rembrandt's household as a housekeeper and dry nurse to his son Titus in 1649, seven years after the death of his wife Saskia. Hendrickje became Rembrandt's mistress, and in 1654 she gave birth to their daughter Cornelia. The meticulous execution of the Hendrickje's face, giving it greater emphasis, is a technique found in many of Rembrandt's portraits.

Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn, Leiden 1606 - Amsterdam 1669 Das Gastmahl des Belsazar / Belshazzar's Feast aka Belshazzar seeing the writing on the wall (ca. 1636 - 38) National Gallery London Rembrandt's source for this painting, the Old Testament Book of Daniel (5: 1-6, 25-8), tells of a banquet Belshazzar, King of Babylon, gave for his nobles. At this banquet he blasphemously served wine in the sacred vessels his father Nebuchadnezzar had looted from the Temple in Jerusalem. Rembrandt shows the moment when a divine hand appeared and wrote on the wall a phrase only Daniel could decipher. When transliterated the inscription reads: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN. This is the interpretation: 'God has numbered the days of your kingdom and brought it to an end; you have been weighed in the balances and found wanting; your kingdom is given to the Medes and Persians.' That very night Belshazzar was slain. Rembrandt derived the form of Hebrew inscription from a book by his friend, the learned Rabbi and printer, Menasseh ben Israel, yet mistranscribed one of the characters and arranged them in columns, rather than right to left, as Hebrew is written. The picture, painted in about 1635, is an example of Rembrandt's attempt to establish himself as a painter of large-scale Baroque history paintings. Source: National Gallery, London

Oil on canvas; 118.8 x 96.8 cm. Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn was a Dutch painter and etcher. He is generally considered one of the greatest painters and printmakers in European art and the most important in Dutch history.[2] His contributions to art came in a period of great wealth and cultural achievement that historians call the Dutch Golden Age when Dutch Golden Age painting, although in many ways antithetical to the Baroque style that dominated Europe, was extremely prolific and innovative. Having achieved youthful success as a portrait painter, Rembrandt's later years were marked by personal tragedy and financial hardships. Yet his etchings and paintings were popular throughout his lifetime, his reputation as an artist remained high,[3] and for twenty years he taught many important Dutch painters.[4] Rembrandt's greatest creative triumphs are exemplified especially in his portraits of his contemporaries, self-portraits and illustrations of scenes from the Bible. His self-portraits form a unique and intimate biography, in which the artist surveyed himself without vanity and with the utmost sincerity.[2] In his paintings and prints he exhibited knowledge of classical iconography, which he molded to fit the requirements of his own experience; thus, the depiction of a biblical scene was informed by Rembrandt's knowledge of the specific text, his assimilation of classical composition, and his observations of Amsterdam's Jewish population.[5] Because of his empathy for the human condition, he has been called "one of the great prophets of civilization."[6] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rembrandt
